9718269a7f kemleak-test: build as module only
mm/kmemleak-test.c is used to provide an example of how kmemleak
tool works.

Memory is leaked at module unload-time, so building the test
in kernel (Y) makes the leaks impossible and the test useless.

Qualify DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_TEST config symbol with "depends on m",
to restrict module-only building.

NOTE!

This merge commit was created to fix compilation error. The block
tree was merged upstream and removed the 'elv_queue_empty()'
function which the new 'mtdswap' driver is using. So a simple
merge of the mtd tree with upstream does not compile. And the
mtd tree has already be published, so re-basing it is not an option.

To fix this unfortunate situation, I had to merge upstream into the
mtd-2.6.git tree without committing, put the fixup patch on top of
this, and then commit this. The result is that we do not have commits
which do not compile.

In other words, this merge commit "merges" 3 things: the MTD tree, the
upstream tree, and the fixup patch.

b2b755b5f1 lib, arch: add filter argument to show_mem and fix private implementations
Commit ddd588b5dd ("oom: suppress nodes that are not allowed from
meminfo on oom kill") moved lib/show_mem.o out of lib/lib.a, which
resulted in build warnings on all architectures that implement their own
versions of show_mem():

	lib/lib.a(show_mem.o): In function `show_mem':
	show_mem.c:(.text+0x1f4): multiple definition of `show_mem'
	arch/sparc/mm/built-in.o:(.text+0xd70): first defined here

The fix is to remove __show_mem() and add its argument to show_mem() in
all implementations to prevent this breakage.

Architectures that implement their own show_mem() actually don't do
anything with the argument yet, but they could be made to filter nodes
that aren't allowed in the current context in the future just like the
generic implementation.

0f77a8d378 vsprintf: Introduce %pB format specifier
The %pB format specifier is for stack backtrace. Its handler
sprint_backtrace() does symbol lookup using (address-1) to
ensure the address will not point outside of the function.

If there is a tail-call to the function marked "noreturn",
gcc optimized out the code after the call then causes saved
return address points outside of the function (i.e. the start
of the next function), so pollutes call trace somewhat.

This patch adds the %pB printk mechanism that allows architecture
call-trace printout functions to improve backtrace printouts.

0664996b7c bitops: introduce CONFIG_GENERIC_FIND_BIT_LE
This introduces CONFIG_GENERIC_FIND_BIT_LE to tell whether to use generic
implementation of find_*_bit_le() in lib/find_next_bit.c or not.

For now we select CONFIG_GENERIC_FIND_BIT_LE for all architectures which
enable CONFIG_GENERIC_FIND_NEXT_BIT.

But m68knommu wants to define own faster find_next_zero_bit_le() and
continues using generic find_next_{,zero_}bit().
(CONFIG_GENERIC_FIND_NEXT_BIT and !CONFIG_GENERIC_FIND_BIT_LE)

a56560b3b2 asm-generic: change little-endian bitops to take any pointer types
This makes the little-endian bitops take any pointer types by changing the
prototypes and adding casts in the preprocessor macros.

That would seem to at least make all the filesystem code happier, and they
can continue to do just something like

  #define ext2_set_bit __test_and_set_bit_le

(or whatever the exact sequence ends up being).

565d76cb7d zlib: slim down zlib_deflate() workspace when possible
Instead of always creating a huge (268K) deflate_workspace with the
maximum compression parameters (windowBits=15, memLevel=8), allow the
caller to obtain a smaller workspace by specifying smaller parameter
values.

For example, when capturing oops and panic reports to a medium with
limited capacity, such as NVRAM, compression may be the only way to
capture the whole report.  In this case, a small workspace (24K works
fine) is a win, whether you allocate the workspace when you need it (i.e.,
during an oops or panic) or at boot time.

I've verified that this patch works with all accepted values of windowBits
(positive and negative), memLevel, and compression level.

33ee3b2e2e kstrto*: converting strings to integers done (hopefully) right
1. simple_strto*() do not contain overflow checks and crufty,
   libc way to indicate failure.
2. strict_strto*() also do not have overflow checks but the name and
   comments pretend they do.
3. Both families have only "long long" and "long" variants,
   but users want strtou8()
4. Both "simple" and "strict" prefixes are wrong:
   Simple doesn't exactly say what's so simple, strict should not exist
   because conversion should be strict by default.

The solution is to use "k" prefix and add convertors for more types.
Enter
	kstrtoull()
	kstrtoll()
	kstrtoul()
	kstrtol()
	kstrtouint()
	kstrtoint()

	kstrtou64()
	kstrtos64()
	kstrtou32()
	kstrtos32()
	kstrtou16()
	kstrtos16()
	kstrtou8()
	kstrtos8()

Include runtime testsuite (somewhat incomplete) as well.

strict_strto*() become deprecated, stubbed to kstrto*() and
eventually will be removed altogether.

Use kstrto*() in code today!

Note: on some archs _kstrtoul() and _kstrtol() are left in tree, even if
      they'll be unused at runtime. This is temporarily solution,
      because I don't want to hardcode list of archs where these
      functions aren't needed. Current solution with sizeof() and
      __alignof__ at least always works.

5af5bcb8d3 printk: allow setting DEFAULT_MESSAGE_LEVEL via Kconfig
We've been burned by regressions/bugs which we later realized could have
been triaged quicker if only we'd paid closer attention to dmesg.  To make
it easier to audit dmesg, we'd like to make DEFAULT_MESSAGE_LEVEL
Kconfig-settable.  That way we can set it to KERN_NOTICE and audit any
messages <= KERN_WARNING.

9f36e2c448 printk: use %pK for /proc/kallsyms and /proc/modules
In an effort to reduce kernel address leaks that might be used to help
target kernel privilege escalation exploits, this patch uses %pK when
displaying addresses in /proc/kallsyms, /proc/modules, and
/sys/module/*/sections/*.

Note that this changes %x to %p, so some legitimately 0 values in
/proc/kallsyms would have changed from 00000000 to "(null)".  To avoid
this, "(null)" is not used when using the "K" format.  Anything that was
already successfully parsing "(null)" in addition to full hex digits
should have no problem with this change.  (Thanks to Joe Perches for the
suggestion.) Due to the %x to %p, "void *" casts are needed since these
addresses are already "unsigned long" everywhere internally, due to their
starting life as ELF section offsets.

fef2c9bc1b kernel/watchdog.c: allow hardlockup to panic by default
When a cpu is considered stuck, instead of limping along and just printing
a warning, it is sometimes preferred to just panic, let kdump capture the
vmcore and reboot.  This gets the machine back into a stable state quickly
while saving the info that got it into a stuck state to begin with.

Add a Kconfig option to allow users to set the hardlockup to panic
by default.  Also add in a 'nmi_watchdog=nopanic' to override this.

ddd588b5dd oom: suppress nodes that are not allowed from meminfo on oom kill
The oom killer is extremely verbose for machines with a large number of
cpus and/or nodes.  This verbosity can often be harmful if it causes other
important messages to be scrolled from the kernel log and incurs a
signicant time delay, specifically for kernels with CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT >
8.

This patch causes only memory information to be displayed for nodes that
are allowed by current's cpuset when dumping the VM state.  Information
for all other nodes is irrelevant to the oom condition; we don't care if
there's an abundance of memory elsewhere if we can't access it.

This only affects the behavior of dumping memory information when an oom
is triggered.  Other dumps, such as for sysrq+m, still display the
unfiltered form when using the existing show_mem() interface.

Additionally, the per-cpu pageset statistics are extremely verbose in oom
killer output, so it is now suppressed.  This removes

	nodes_weight(current->mems_allowed) * (1 + nr_cpus)

lines from the oom killer output.

Callers may use __show_mem(SHOW_MEM_FILTER_NODES) to filter disallowed
nodes.

bf6a9b8336 plist: Shrink struct plist_head
struct plist_head is used in struct task_struct as well as struct
rtmutex. If we can make it smaller, it will also make these structures
smaller as well.

The field prio_list in struct plist_head is seldom used and we can get
its information from the plist_nodes. Removing this field will decrease
the size of plist_head by half.

437aa565e2 lib: add shared BCH ECC library
This is a new software BCH encoding/decoding library, similar to the shared
Reed-Solomon library.

Binary BCH (Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem) codes are widely used to correct
errors in NAND flash devices requiring more than 1-bit ecc correction; they
are generally better suited for NAND flash than RS codes because NAND bit
errors do not occur in bursts. Latest SLC NAND devices typically require at
least 4-bit ecc protection per 512 bytes block.

This library provides software encoding/decoding, but may also be used with
ASIC/SoC hardware BCH engines to perform error correction. It is being
currently used for this purpose on an OMAP3630 board (4bit/8bit HW BCH). It
has also been used to decode raw dumps of NAND devices with on-die BCH ecc
engines (e.g. Micron 4bit ecc SLC devices).

Latest NAND devices (including SLC) can exhibit high error rates (typically
a dozen or more bitflips per hour during stress tests); in order to
minimize the performance impact of error correction, this library
implements recently developed algorithms for fast polynomial root finding
(see bch.c header for details) instead of the traditional exhaustive Chien
root search; a few performance figures are provided below:

Platform: arm926ejs @ 468 MHz, 32 KiB icache, 16 KiB dcache
BCH ecc : 4-bit per 512 bytes

Encoding average throughput: 250 Mbits/s

Error correction time (compared with Chien search):

        average   worst      average (Chien)  worst (Chien)
----------------------------------------------------------
1 bit    8.5 µs   11 µs         200 µs           383 µs
2 bit    9.7 µs   12.5 µs       477 µs           728 µs
3 bit   18.1 µs   20.6 µs       758 µs          1010 µs
4 bit   19.5 µs   23 µs        1028 µs          1280 µs

In the above figures, "worst" is meant in terms of error pattern, not in
terms of cache miss / page faults effects (not taken into account here).

The library has been extensively tested on the following platforms: x86,
x86_64, arm926ejs, omap3630, qemu-ppc64, qemu-mips.

9977728840 debugobjects: Add hint for better object identification
In complex subsystems like mac80211 structures can contain several
timers and work structs, so identifying a specific instance from the
call trace and object type output of debugobjects can be hard.

Allow the subsystems which support debugobjects to provide a hint
function. This function returns a pointer to a kernel address
(preferrably the objects callback function) which is printed along
with the debugobjects type.

Add hint methods for timer_list, work_struct and hrtimer.

3c18d4de86 Expand CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST to several other list operations
When list debugging is enabled, we aim to readably show list corruption
errors, and the basic list_add/list_del operations end up having extra
debugging code in them to do some basic validation of the list entries.

However, "list_del_init()" and "list_move[_tail]()" ended up avoiding
the debug code due to how they were written. This fixes that.

So the _next_ time we have list_move() problems with stale list entries,
we'll hopefully have an easier time finding them..

I think this root cause is the following:

 radix_tree_range_tag_if_tagged() always tags the root tag with settag
 if the root tag is set with iftag even if there are no iftag tags
 in the specified range (Of course, there are some iftag tags
 outside the specified range).

===============================================================================
[[[Detailed description]]]

(1) Why cannot radix_tree_gang_lookup_tag_slot() return forever?

__lookup_tag():
 - Return with 0.
 - Return with the index which is not bigger than the old one as the
   input parameter.

Therefore the following "while" repeats forever because the above
conditions cause "ret" not to be updated and the cur_index cannot be
changed into the bigger one.

(So, radix_tree_gang_lookup_tag_slot() cannot return forever.)

radix_tree_gang_lookup_tag_slot():
1178         while (ret < max_items) {
1179                 unsigned int slots_found;
1180                 unsigned long next_index;       /* Index of next search */
1181
1182                 if (cur_index > max_index)
1183                         break;
1184                 slots_found = __lookup_tag(node, results + ret,
1185                                 cur_index, max_items - ret, &next_index,
tag);
1186                 ret += slots_found;
			// cannot update ret because slots_found == 0.
			// so, this while loops forever.
1187                 if (next_index == 0)
1188                         break;
1189                 cur_index = next_index;
1190         }

(2) Why does __lookup_tag() return with 0 and doesn't update the index?

Assuming the following:
  - the one of the slot in radix_tree_node is NULL.
  - the one of the tag which corresponds to the slot sets with
    PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE or other.
  - In a certain height(!=0), the corresponding index is 0.

a) __lookup_tag() notices that the tag is set.

1005 static unsigned int
1006 __lookup_tag(struct radix_tree_node *slot, void ***results, unsigned long index,
1007         unsigned int max_items, unsigned long *next_index, unsigned int tag)
1008 {
1009         unsigned int nr_found = 0;
1010         unsigned int shift, height;
1011
1012         height = slot->height;
1013         if (height == 0)
1014                 goto out;
1015         shift = (height-1) * RADIX_TREE_MAP_SHIFT;
1016
1017         while (height > 0) {
1018                 unsigned long i = (index >> shift) & RADIX_TREE_MAP_MASK ;
1019
1020                 for (;;) {
1021                         if (tag_get(slot, tag, i))
1022                                 break;
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* the index is not updated yet.

b) __lookup_tag() notices that the slot is NULL.

1023                         index &= ~((1UL << shift) - 1);
1024                         index += 1UL << shift;
1025                         if (index == 0)
1026                                 goto out;       /* 32-bit wraparound */
1027                         i++;
1028                         if (i == RADIX_TREE_MAP_SIZE)
1029                                 goto out;
1030                 }
1031                 height--;
1032                 if (height == 0) {      /* Bottom level: grab some items */
...
1055                 }
1056                 shift -= RADIX_TREE_MAP_SHIFT;
1057                 slot = rcu_dereference_raw(slot->slots[i]);
1058                 if (slot == NULL)
1059                         break;
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

c) __lookup_tag() doesn't update the index and return with 0.

1060         }
1061 out:
1062         *next_index = index;
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1063         return nr_found;
1064 }

(3) Why is the slot NULL even if the tag is set?

Because radix_tree_range_tag_if_tagged() always sets the root tag with
PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE if the root tag is set with PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY,
even if there is no tag which can be set with PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE
in the specified range (from *first_indexp to last_index). Of course,
some PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY nodes must exist outside the specified range.
(radix_tree_range_tag_if_tagged() is called only from tag_pages_for_writeback())

 640 unsigned long radix_tree_range_tag_if_tagged(struct radix_tree_root
*root,
 641                 unsigned long *first_indexp, unsigned long last_index,
 642                 unsigned long nr_to_tag,
 643                 unsigned int iftag, unsigned int settag)
 644 {
 645         unsigned int height = root->height;
 646         struct radix_tree_path path[height];
 647         struct radix_tree_path *pathp = path;
 648         struct radix_tree_node *slot;
 649         unsigned int shift;
 650         unsigned long tagged = 0;
 651         unsigned long index = *first_indexp;
 652
 653         last_index = min(last_index, radix_tree_maxindex(height));
 654         if (index > last_index)
 655                 return 0;
 656         if (!nr_to_tag)
 657                 return 0;
 658         if (!root_tag_get(root, iftag)) {
 659                 *first_indexp = last_index + 1;
 660                 return 0;
 661         }
 662         if (height == 0) {
 663                 *first_indexp = last_index + 1;
 664                 root_tag_set(root, settag);
 665                 return 1;
 666         }
...
 733         root_tag_set(root, settag);
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 734         *first_indexp = index;
 735
 736         return tagged;
 737 }

As the result, there is no radix_tree_node which is set with
PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE but the root tag(radix_tree_root) is set with
PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE.

============================================

After that, radix_tree_extend() via radix_tree_insert() is called
when the page is added.
This function sets the new radix_tree_node with PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE
to succeed the status of the root tag.

 246 static int radix_tree_extend(struct radix_tree_root *root, unsigned long

 255                 height++;
 256
 257         if (root->rnode == NULL) {
 258                 root->height = height;
 259                 goto out;
 260         }

 265                         return -ENOMEM;
 266
 267                 /* Increase the height.  */
 268                 node->slots[0] = radix_tree_indirect_to_ptr(root->rnode);
 269
 270                 /* Propagate the aggregated tag info into the new root */
 271                 for (tag = 0; tag < RADIX_TREE_MAX_TAGS; tag++) {

 273                                 tag_set(node, tag, 0);

After that, the index 3 page is released by remove_from_page_cache().
Then we can make the situation that the tag is set with PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE
and that the slot which corresponds to the tag is NULL.

============================================

To solve this problem

Change to that radix_tree_tag_if_tagged() doesn't tag the root tag
if it doesn't set any tags within the specified range.

Like this.
